Tee time 340. Finished 9 at 625! That’s 245 for 9 holes. Nice course at least what I got to see of it. Why can’t rangers enforce pace of play?

Have been playing golf in the area for years and The River Club course is in the best condition in years. Greens have been rolling perfectly and very few bad spots on them. Sure the course can get soggy at times, but for the most part it’s only in certain areas.The cart gal and the girls behind the bar are ALWAYS nice, attentive and on spot. It would seem to me that the whiners on here are divas. It’s a golf club, not the Ritz for cryin out loud.

Nice course in good condition except the bunkers could use some work. Very slow play on a Thursday at 1:45 tee time. Didn't tee off until 2:15 and had to quit after 15 for darkness. Would have been 5+30 round if we could have finished. Friendly staff all around

enjoyed the layout although some holes felt to straight and plain. Greens rolled true but a little slower.

I can't comment on the course but we were looking for a driving range which seems to be difficult to find in the Bradenton Area.Especially ones that let you hit off natural grass or plug in a tee.Scott was very friendly in the Pro Shop as we picked up our tokens to get our balls in the ball drop machine.The range is beautiful I really enjoyed it the grass is super green there they do a wonderful job maintaining it.They have a very large area where they move it up and down as the grass heals.Which in turn gives you a great surface to hit off of.There is a restaurant and a bar area inside which seem to be quite full so I would assume they have some decent food.Pro Shop is small and limited but there is some golf attire and Equipment there.There's also plenty of parking and a lot of shaded areas.I've included pictures of each hole some look very interesting and even with an island green.If this review helps you please give it a THUMBS UP.

Played here while on holiday with some friends who are also visiting. First time playing here and very impressed. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. Thought the course was in great condition and really enjoyed the layout, lots of really interesting holes with no two alike. We played on a Sunday afternoon, so had fully expected it to be a bit busy, however after we called a couple of two-balls through early on we pretty much had the course to ourselves. We’ve played some more expensive courses over here and this was just as good, so real value for money. I’d recommend the course to anyone and may well play here again before we return home.

We had lunch at River Club Grille today and really enjoyed it! We walked there from a family members home and were greeted by Elise on our arrival. She was very friendly, super efficient and extremely attentive, making many trips to our table during our lunch. (We had a 6&7 year old with us :) We enjoyed our sandwiches while looking out at their beautiful golf course.

Best deal in town, for one of the BEST public courses in the area. Great customer service, wonderful employees that are very friendly and really make you feel welcomed, from start to finish, the proshop, to bar staff & all the way down to the starter & ranger, and a great atmosphere for a beautiful 18 round course. Love the driving range!! With a halfway house to grab a bite to eat (Hole #11). You can smell the burgers and hot dogs right when you pull up! It’s a 5 STAR in my eyes!

This course is in excellent shape, best I’ve seen in a long time. Also,what I was most impressed with the new menu & how it has a full breakfast side.Everytime I come in, there are waters lined up right there & ready, coming from a private club, this is a step UP! Most clubs make you fill your ice & water, so great job to the owner for having that. Our Esplanade group loves seeing a familiar face, as well as some amazing employees. Michelle is outstanding & we were sad to lose her but happy we get to see her when she’s working. I don’t remember the other girls names but they are amazing as well. It would be amazing to get lunch togo orders for the Braden River Elementary & middle school, the teachers would love that. Keep up the great work to the owner, manager & staff.

They ought to be ashamed of themselves.We play here all the time in a group. But we’re dropping out.Had a confirmation for my tee time and was sent out 45 minutes late.Went up to the pro- shop after watching 3 groups go ahead of of our tee time and was told you’ll have to speak to the starter. The starter had 3 people complaining already, he was cleaning carts running up a hill to get others carts for the driving range, we decided to leave that gentleman alone and just wait.We never got to finish, the course was painfully slow and it was getting dark.Overbooking Tee Times! Greedy owners. Have some respect for the customer and your staff!

We arrived at River Club at 11:30 for our 12:04 tee-time. As was the case the one time prior, there were delays and we only teed off at 12:35, one half an hour later. The frustration of golfers waiting was very visible as everyone sat in their respective carts for their turn to tee-off. This frustration intensified when people that were not in line were seen heading to the first tee. A gentleman from a group that was second or third behind us, vented on how this was becoming the norm at River Club, and he was visibly very upset because he had guests from Chicago and said that “they would not be able to finish the round”. I afterwards understood his concerns.We finally teed off and the our round ended up being over 5 hours long. We got acquainted with the folks with whom we played, got acquainted with the foursome in front of us, got acquainted with the foursome behind us, and did something we have never, ever experienced before!! We also got acquainted with the foursome following the group behind us! There essentially was a reunion of the several foursomes at each tee!As we left the 15 green and got to the 16 tee, we were advised on the cart screen that we’d have to bring the carts back before 17:30. Understandably, everyone rushed as much as possible to finish the round and our whole foursome was very annoyed. At a certain point the group behind us with whom by now we had become quite familiar, finally left the course and further expressed their frustrations as they passed by and said goodbye.We are most definitely not going back to River Club. Too many other nice courses that don’t come with all of this drama. It’s not right

This is a great course for the price and my go to driving range on a weekly basis. The only thing I’ll say is sometimes the staff inside at the register can be a little unfriendly, but all the other employees are great. I really wish they offer a driving range membership
